Farmers Participation in Irrigation Management and Its Influence on Production and Productivity of Rice Farming

Utilization and management of irrigation, especially in the tertiary is the duty and responsibility of farmers involved and cooperate in farmer water user associations (P3A).

Through such participation, farmer members of P3A may gain knowledge derived from the results of their interactions with fellow members of P3A or other parties related to irrigation activities and ultimately may affect the achievement of the production and productivity of rice farming optimal. This study intends to examine the extent to which members of P3A farmer participation in irrigation management affect the production and productivity of rice farming in each tertiary, Bila Kalola irrigation. Survey method in this study is intended to obtain the required data through questionnaires to 324 farmer members of P3A in 41 affiliated P3A, which influence the participation of farmers on production and productivity of rice farming are analyzed through simple regression analysis and analysis of Cobb-Douglas production function. The results showed that: the more active participation of farmers in irrigation management activities, the increasing of production and productivity achieved, although this hypothesis has not been fully proven in each tertiary on Bila Kalola irrigation

Can Access to Social Facility Help Poverty Reduction in Agricultural Sector? Evidence from Indonesia

Poverty in agricultural sector is still becomes a serious issue in developing country, and Indonesia is no exception. Our previous study was focusing on poverty and income (income poverty). This paper, however, deals with a substantive question, can access to social facility (non-income) help poverty reduction in agriculture? The study (also) utilized previous model of Dimensionality Test, Factor and Path Analysis to answer the question. The results show that the higher government transfer source income in terms of Social safety Net Program, the more money for smallholders will be. This leads us to argue that transfer income from the government to the smallholder community can be still considered in maintaining smallholders’ daily life, means helping them move out poverty. The better access to social services such as primary public health center (called PUSKESMAS), clean water supplied by PDAM (Local Government Division for Drinking Water Affairs) and secondary school is, the higher the household income will be. Thus, if PUSKESMAS, primary and secondary schools as well as clean water sources are nearer, the less time and money will be spent to travel, then the more household income at hand will be saved. In other words, distance and degree of utilization appear to be a crucial part of these interpretations above. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the better the access to social services such as public health center, schools and public clean water, the more household income will be and in turn it will alleviate the poverty of smallholders. It is clear that providing better access to social facility can help poverty reduction in agricultural sector

PEMBINAAN KELOMPOK TANI MENJADI PETANI PENANGKAR BENIH UNGGUL SEBAGAI UPAYA DALAM MENGATASI KELANGKAAN BENIH PADI DI KECAMATAN BENGO KABUPATEN BONE

Problems faced by the Pangisoreng UPB partners and Allapporeng II farmer groups are the unavailability of superior seeds and scarcity of fertilizer during the planting season, low farming capital, the land is saturated with inorganic fertilizers and there is no use of organic fertilizers, resulting in soil cracking in the dry season and cause rice drought. The use of liquid fertilizer has not been carried out, the waste planting system is wasteful use of seeds, rat pest attacks due to the wrong planting system, and the knowledge and expertise of farmers in producing seeds, compost, liquid fertilizer / biopesticides are lacking; thus causing rice productivity and low farmer income. From the range of solutions offered, the activities that have been carried out are: (a) fostering farmer groups to become seed breeders so they can produce superior seeds independently, while encouraging new potential entrepreneurs, (b) training farmers to process locally available organic waste into fertilizer compost, liquid fertilizer / biopesticide, (c) improve the planting system from hambur into a planting system, move through seed demonstration plot and (d) provide assistance during the activity. The output targets to be achieved on PKM are: Superior seed production, compost production, liquid fertilizer / biopesticide, increased productivity from 5.5 tons / ha to 8-9 tons / ha. From the implementation of the activities carried out it can be concluded that the activities were welcomed by members of partner farmer groups because they were classified as new. Making compost and liquid organic fertilizer can be done by utilizing local materials and considering the function of each ingredient.Keywords: Rice seeding, compost, liquid fertilizer, planting system.  ABSTRAKPermasalahan yang dihadapi oleh mitra UPB Pangisoreng dan kelompok tani Allapporeng II adalah tidak tersedianya benih unggul dan kelangkaan pupuk saat musim tanam, modal usaha tani yang rendah, lahan sudah jenuh dengan pupuk anorganik dan tidak ada penggunaan pupuk organik, sehingga terjadi keretakan tanah pada musim kemarau dan menyebabkan padi kekeringan. Penggunaan pupuk cair belum dilaksanakan, sistem tanam hambur yang boros penggunaan benih, serangan hama tikus akibat sistem tanam yang salah, serta pengetahuan dan ketermpilan petani dalam memproduksi benih, pupuk kompos, pupuk cair/biopestisida yang kurang; sehingga menyebabkan produktivitas padi dan pendapatan petani rendah. Dari rangkaian solusi yang ditawarkan, kegiatan yang telah dilaksanakan adalah: (a) pembinaan kelompok tani menjadi penangkar benih sehingga mampu memproduksi benih unggul secara mandiri, sekaligus mendorong menjadi calon wirausaha baru, (b) melatih petani mengolah limbah organik yang tersedia secara lokal menjadi pupuk kompos, pupuk cair/ biopestisida, (c) memperbaiki sistem tanam dari hambur menjadi sistem tanam pindah melalui demplot perbenihan serta (d) melakukan pendampingan selama kegiatan berlangsung. Target luaran yang ingin dicapai pada PKM adalah: Produksi benih unggul, produksi kompos, pupuk cair /biopestisida, peningkatan produktivitas dari 5,5 ton/ha menjadi 8-9 ton/ha. Dari pelaksanaan kegiatan yang dilakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan disambut baik oleh anggota kelompok tani mitra karena tergolong baru. Pembuatan kompos dan pupuk organik cair dapat dilakukan dengan memanfaatkan bahan local dan mempertimbangkan fungsi dari masing-masing bahan.Kata kunci: Perbenihan padi, kompos, pupuk cair, sistem tana
